' Application filed October 14:, 1905. Renewed September 26, 1906.Serial No. 336.324.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN F. Tnonena, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Bayonne, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heat and SmokeDeflectors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to smoke and heat deflectors; and the object of theinvention is to provide a deflector which will serve as a radiator ofheat and light and prevent the carbon from a gas-jet or lamp from beingdeposited on the ceiling above the same.

A further object is to provide a deflector which will rotate and presentan ornamental appearance.

Referring to the drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure1 is a perspective view of two of my deflectors located above thegas-jets of a chandelier. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing means ofattaching the deflectors to the ceiling. Fig. 3'. shows the applicationto a portable lamp. Fig. 4

to a hanging lamp. Fig. 5 is a plan view of my preferred form ofdeflectoror fan. Fig. 6 is a side view of the deflector and the meansused to support it, and Fig. 7 is a plan view of a modified form ofdeflector.

In Fig. 1, A indicates a chandelier supported from a ceiling andprovided with gasburners, as shown.

Above the burners are suspended my new deflectors B, which arepreferably disk-shaped and are provided with vanes sim'lar in shape tothose used in windmill construction and clearly set forth in Figs. 5, 6,7. These deflectors are stamped from any suitable metal; but I preferaluminium on reflecting qualities and also its light weight, order toget good results to make the deflectors as light in weight as possible.

In Fig. 1 the deflector is shown suspended from the horizontal branchesof the chande ier.

In Fig. 2 I show them suspended by straight rods, one of which isprovided with a screw formed directly on its end, and the other beingscrewed or otherwise fastened into a flange which is screwed to theceiling.

Referring to Fig. 5, I show the deflector ported loosely between them,

the angularity of stamped from a sheet of metal having the vanes formedin such a manner that their ends are all united in a continuous ring atthe outer edge and also at the inner ends of the vanes and a small holeat the center of the deflector. This construction is stronger than thatshown in Fig. 7, as the vanes are not so easily bent out of their properform.

The deflector is preferably held between two small balls or beads C andC (see Fig. 6,) which are perforated, as indicated by dotted lines, anda screw or pin passes through them and the deflector, as shown, and issecured in the end of the rod D, the head of the screw E serving torevent the parts from separating. The ba is G and C are free to turn onthe screw E, and the deflector is supso that the fric- Patented Oct. so,1906.

tion of the deflector in turning is reduced to a minimum.

- The operation of the device is as follows: Upon lighting the gas jetor lamp the heated air and gases rapidly rise and carry with themthefree carbon liberated from the gas. This current of hot gases impingesupon the blades of the deflector, and on account of the blades or vanescauses ector to rapidly turn on its axis, and thereby deflect the gases.The deflector also deflects the heat and light rays and serves as a veryefficient radiator, in fact making, in effect, a small stove and whereseveral of heating the room.

Many modifications may be made in form, size, &c., without departingfrom the main features of importance in my invention.

I prefer to makemy deflectors complete that'is to say, with the rodsattached and means whereby the same may be quickly attached to achandelier or lamp-so that they may be marketed as a complete article ofmanufacture.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. As a new article of manufacture, a rod having a screw formed on therod at its upper end for the purpose set forth, avane at an angle to theplain surface of the disk on which a current of air is adapted to act torotate the same, balls located one on each side of said disk betweenwhich said disk turns,
